Blood in Stool

I am 18 years old and I am allergic to Dairy Products - I am lactose intolerant. I do, however, frequently eat dairy products, because it may or may not give me problems (If i do have problems, it's just a stomach ache the morning after or after the meal, followed by a bout of semi dihorreoa which I'm used to dealing with).

However, recently, I've seen some blood in my dumps. It's not a whole lot, but noticebly turns the water a light reddish colour (barely noticeable, especially among my dihorreoa), but quite a lot of (what appears to be FRESH bright red blood when i wipe my bottom) blood, which goes away after the 2nd or 3rd wipe... which probably means it ISN'T a rip on the ring of my anus. It is possible that the blood is coming from a rip, however, because the ring is convex slightly, due to heavy amounts of dihorreoa in the past, which has caused it to take on such a shape. This may or may not have made the sensitive capilleries and such vulnerable to the toilet paper i've been using (and since i'm very hygenic, I tend to wipe... maybe excessively sometimes).

Anyways, lately, there's been blood in my stool, and i'm coming to think i've come down with hemmeroids (spelling?). I wouldn't be surprised, because (due to exams) I have been, for the last 3 months, sometimes sitting in the same place for about 14-16 hours a day, getting up only a couple of times during the day- I've heard that pilots get hemmeroids because of their lengthy sitting.
